The book "Build the Instant boats" (Harold Payson) is okey. If you just like to build any dinghy it mite do the trick all the way, both technique and some usable plans. On stitch & glue you will find plenty on the web. Stitch + glue + dinghy gives 700 hits at Google. For actual designing and knowing more about hull dynamics when doing it, John Teale's "How to design a boat" fills it's purpose. I got that hint here and bought it. If you like luxury books to twinkle in your shelf, look for more expensive stuff. People tend to look for so different things, so it's often best to surf around and pin-point something more closely. Then you most likely will get better answers around here. Better questions, better answers. Morgan O. |

You don't really need a book. Check the How To files at
http://bateau2.com They cover almost every aspect of stitch and glue and you can see web sites from builders using the method. |
